This is mostly for folx who are looking for linux compatible laptops. A Dell Vostro 1710 with Nvidia video (UXGA) and dell wireless works GREAT! I shrunk the xp (NOT VISTA) partition with the 10.3 install disk, then installed 11.1-64 bit, kde- 3.5, no 4.x joke, will try a higher number when it gets around 5.2. grub is on the mbr. dual boot works, but it is not needed. EVERYTHING works fine, including multimedia. The one complaint is that i had to install ndiswrapper for the wireless,it too works fine now, a little better i think since the last knetworkmanager upgrade. don't have a fingerprint reader and just discovered that the machine came with a webcam, don't know if i want to install anything about it yet. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
